About this product

Product Information

Francoise Tellier-Loumagne has taught textile and knit design in France for more than thirty years. Drawing on her experience as teacher and practitioner, she has assembled a creative and inventive overview of stitches and fabrics, both hand-knitted and machine-made, presenting hundreds of sumptuous ways of working with yarn, from silk thread to Shetland wool. Other books propose patterns to copy; this book uses basic patterns as points of departure, opening up endless possibilities for sophisticated knitting designs. The book is organized by fabric types: simple knits, jacquards, fine jersey knits, interlock, open-work, and many others. It covers hand knitting, domestic machine knitting, and industrial knitting, explaining the relevant techniques and notation for each. The author encourages the reader to be innovative and to experiment with the various techniques, drawing inspiration from the natural world and one's personal surroundings: pebbles on the sand, autumn leaves, snow sparkling in the sun, weeds and grasses bending in the wind. Every type of stitch that she describes is accompanied by enlarged photos of the textiles, detailed diagrams, and written instructions. The yarns used here are highly textural and attractive, which further encourages experimentation with yarn combinations and knitting techniques. The book will appeal to domestic knitters, professional knit designers, textile designers, and students, and will be a source of inspiration to anyone working with or interested in knitted textiles.

    Gorgeous photos, great for knitting inspiration

    This is a beautiful book full of gorgeous photos both of knitting stitches and textures, and of natural phenomena that inspired them. If I have any criticism, it is that many of the patterns are intended for machine knitting, which is out of reach of most hand knitters.

    This is a goregeous book!

    This book is so beautiful, you'd mistake it for a coffee table book if it wasn't so full of instruction. Just beautiful.

    AN INSPIRATION TO LOVERS OF LIFE AND ALL THINGS NATURAL

    This seventeen chapter, soft backed book is translated from the French and is primarily directed towards machine knitters. I am a hand knitter but feel the richer for owning this book. Not knowing the difference between tuck stitches and racked stitches for instance, the text describes everything in an understandable language. However, I am unlikely to ever buy or use a knitting machine. What I really love about the book is the rich mixture of nature and knitting techniques. The photographs marry such things as ripples and ridges in sand, with stitches. Wind and sea are captured as inspiration for flowing drapes. Grasses in sand have inspired fine openwork in yarn. Close up areas of beach at low tide capture texture and colour, reflected in course and smooth yarns, large and fine ...
